Love is Eternal
Later, all three- father, mother and brother argued trying to defend their promises and each one of them wanted Madhumalati to get married to their choice. While this argument was going on at Keshav Pandit’s house, Haridutt, Waman and Madhusudan dreamt of getting married to Madhumalati. Just then something shocking happened. Madhumalati was bitten by a snake. She turned blue with poison. Two snake charmers tried to take out the poison but in vain. Haridutt, Waman and Madhusudan had also reached there but Madhumalati died. After her death, Madhusudan said that he could not live in the same place so he went away and lived a life with asceticism. Waman took the ashes of Madhumalati’s dead body and roamed around in jungles. Haridutt could not part with her ashes so he kept it with him and built a hut and live his life in the same vicinity. All three went their own ways. While Madhusudan was travelling, he stopped at a scholar’s house. He had food there. He praised the food. The scholar said that his daughter had made that food for her husband. Just then a few men came with her husband’s dead body. The scholar could not see his daughter lamenting so he brought back his son-in-law to life with the help of Sanjeevani Vidya. That night, Madhusudan stole the book of Sanjeevani Vidya and went to the crematorium where Haridutt was living. Meanwhile Waman had also come there. Madhusudan showed them the book and told them to give it a try. Madhumalati came back to life and then again all three wanted to get married to Madhumalati.
After this, Betaal stopped and asked Vikram as to who should Madhumalati get married to, Madhusudan who brought her back to life, Waman who kept her ashes with him or Haridutt who built a hut in the crematorium and lived there along with her ashes. Once more Betaal forced Vikram to reply or else he would break his head into pieces. Vikram replied that Madhumalati should get married to Haridutt because Madhusudan gave her life which is given by parents and so he acted as her father, Waman went with her ash which is done by a son so he performed the duty of a son and Haridutt lived in the crematorium like a true lover and husband. Thus, Madhumalati got married to Haridutt. Betaal was happy with his intelligent answer but once more Vikram made the mistake of speaking and Betaal flew away.
